World-leading nuclear steam turbine tech to bolster Rolls Royce gen 3 small reactor3 Mar 2025 04:53
Germany-based world leader in nuclear steam turbine technology is set to bolster Rolls-Royce’ small reactor reactors (SMR). Siemens Energy has collaborated with Rolls-Royce SMR to supply steam turbines, generators, and other auxiliary systems for the British manufacturer’s planned Generation 3+ modular nuclear power plants.
Considered a promising technology for the future of nuclear energy, the SMRs can play a key role in the success of the energy transition as they are more compact, safer, and more cost-efficient than conventional nuclear power plants.
Currently, Rolls-Royce SMR is developing a “mini nuclear power plant” that can be operational much faster than traditionally built plants, thanks to its standardized, modular design.

Would both companies waste their time if it wasn’t going to lead to it ?
